I'm going to build a 1958 430 to put in my 58 custom 4-door.
I want 400 - 450 horsepower.

The plans are for 9.5 custom pistons.

Modified big block chevy headers (shorty).

Complete electronic ignition.

Reground high performance cam, with fe roller rockers

Ported and polished heads.

My question invovles intake manifolds. I want to run a single four barrel intake. Which year of 430/462 manifold would be best for performance. I know it will have to be ported and I mighy even consider having it extrude-honed. My other idea was to get a tri-power intake and block off the outer two carb mounting surfaces and remachine the center to accept a 4 barrel.

Any opinions?
